Across all competitions, Ekitiké made a total of 64 appearances, registering 26 goals and 14 assists.
“Hugo has undergone a remarkable development during his one and a half years with us and has been a genuine asset to our team and the entire club, both on and off the field” stated Eintracht Frankfurt’s Sporting Director, Markus Krösche. “We are delighted that he can now take the next step – a step he has earned through his performances with us”.
